TIL! For those playing along at home who are curious: # apt install xattr $ wget https://www.debian.org/ $ xattr -l index.html user.xdg.origin.url: https://www.debian.org/ Some notes: * wget in stretch doesn't set xattrs (but the version in sid does) * chromium doesn't set xattrs if you "File→Save" but does if the file type is downloaded. * I wasn't successful in doing this on a tmpfs - perhaps there are additional runes to add to the mount options that would make that possible. * getfattr from the attr package also works -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
